24 days until Displacement comes out! Today's tidbit is the Topaz Melon. Found out about it from a random Utah farm blog during my research, and they also sold seeds at the Topaz Museum, but still don't know much about it!

26 days until Displacement is released! Today I'll share the 3D models I made in @SketchUp to help me with backgrounds. Saved my life and hours of work having these models, highly recommend making your own for comics.

27 days until Displacement is out! Today, a panel featuring the numbered tags Nikkei were made to wear during transportation to camp. I accessed my family's information in the National Archive to find the number they were given

I gave him a name in the book, but we don't actually know who made them, unfortunately. Shout out to
@pleasantchime for providing translations!

Displacement comes out in exactly one month! I thought I'd count it down by posting some behind the scenes stuff. To start off, here's the small wooden figurines made for my grandmother by a man in camp
